remote install linux?

I was given an IBM server with a C2T console connection.  
Unfortunately, I don't have a C2T cable.

I probably also don't have a null modem cable as it is packed for my  
upcoming move.

I need to install Linux on it, any distro is ok.

So I am looking any of the following:

1. A distro that installs without any console.

2. A C2T cable or a place I can call here in Israel and have it  
shipped to me, or a loaner for a few days in Jerusalem.

3. A null modem cable I can buy or borrow, the same as above.

4. A distro that installs over a serial port.

5. A distro that will install or boot and give me a console over  
telnet or ssh.

Any help would be appreciated, including telling me those things don't  
exist.

Thanks in advance, Geoff.
